A revealed preference analysis of PhD students’ choices over employment outcomes

We develop a revealed preference approach to elicit science and engineering PhDs’ preferences over employment outcomes, exploiting cohort size variations. Depending on whether pecuniary and non-pecuniary rewards are sticky or not, increments in the PhDs’ c ...

Correcting for endogeneity using the EMIS method: a case study with revealed preference data

Michel Bierlaire, Anna Fernández Antolín

Endogeneity is an important issue that often arises in discrete choice models leading to biased estimates of the parameters. We propose the extended multiple indicator solution (EMIS) methodology to correct for it and exemplify it with a case study using r ...

Revisiting the Route Choice Problem: A Modeling Framework Based on Mental Representations

Michel Bierlaire, Evanthia Kazagli

We present a new approach for modeling and analyzing route choice behavior. It is motivated by the need to reduce the complexity of the state-of-the-art models. It is inspired by the simplifications actually done by the people, using representations of the ...

Integrating psychometric indicators in latent class choice models

Michel Bierlaire, Ricardo Daniel Hurtubia González, Aurélie Glerum, My Hang Nguyen

Latent class models are a convenient and intuitive way to introduce taste heterogeneity in discrete choice models by relating attributes of the decision makers with unobserved behavioral classes, hence allowing for a more accurate market segmentation. Esti ...

Essays on asset pricing with preference heterogeneity

Giuliano Antonio Curatola

Investors' inheterogeneity is one of the prevailing features on financial markets. Thus, the recent asset pricing literature has produced a number of general equilibrium models where agents have different preferences. This thesis analyzes the effect of pre ...

Revealed preference data from WiFi traces for pedestrian activity scheduling

Michel Bierlaire, Bilal Farooq, Antonin Danalet

We use communication network infrastructure, in particular WiFi traces, to detect activity-episodes sequences in a pedestrian facility. Due to the poor quality of WiFi localization, a probabilistic method is proposed that infers activity-episodes locations ...
